Christmas Stroll You can afford custom furniture Think custom furni- ture is too expensive? “Not so,” according to Bob Pascoe, owner of The Salado Sawmill, an artisan’s workshop Christy’s and gallery. “All things considered, custom furniture is very afford- able.” Pascoe notes of that today’s brand name manufacturers use cost-cutting techniques that reduce overall quality. He compares the solid wood and traditional joinery he uses to the chipboard, fake wood grain, and mechanical fasteners found in Salado store-bought pieces. “With traditional building techniques, a custom Ladies Boutique piece will last for generations,” Pascoe says. There are other advantages to a custom-built piece. Pascoe can size a project to your specification and finish it to blend with your Christy Arner existing decor. “I have one customer who loved the style of a table from a well-known furniture store, but wanted it 8 inches wider and a darker color. With the store, it’s what you see is what you get. I was able to match both the style and customer’s requirements.” In many Main at N. Pace Park cases, Pascoe is even able to beat store prices.

Main • Salado By Steve Becker (Across from Subway) There are plays one might never encounter in a lifetime of bridge. Most such plays would not be hard to execute if someone rang a bell at the crucial moment to warn a player that his chance to rise and shine had arrived. Unfor- tunately, these moments occur so rarely and unex- pectedly that the oppor- tunity for brilliance goes unnoticed and quietly passes by.
